I was chair of the Social Justice Issues committee that year.

Had to have failed to be approved by a majority of presbyteries, but no easy to find online records of pby vote tallies. Close vote in committee, and I seem to remember some of the debate in plenary about not wanting to amend BoO to infringe on preaching. 🤔 www.pc-biz.org/search/3000260

Some mainline denominations — including my own (PCUSA) — may find some of these numbers surprising.

As I boarded my first flight on the way to Bahrain a few weeks after 9/11, I texted my family with my flight and seat number before takeoff. And I've continued to do so before every takeoff ever since. 🛫

Because President Carter was in the Navy, it seems most appropriate and respectful to use the terms correctly. (FWIW, I was in the Navy for 33 years.)

Sherrilyn Ifill writes a powerful critique. Worth the read.

The new Republican House began with an obvious lie advanced in the service of Christian nationalism, so we’re off to a great start

I don't remember that kind of writing being part of the lessons on how to write a brief when I was in law school. Here's the link to the full document for those who want to see it; there's additional similar language near the quote screenshotted above: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Just as timely now as it was when it was published a year ago.

This is an excellent, sobering piece by Ken. He takes issue with one of my posts, and I'm afraid he's right. Exulting in another person's murder has been a very American thing. I think we see that dysfunction more clearly online than off, but bloodthirstiness has always been part of our DNA.

As I try the fresh Bluesky air, I may not follow back and might just block anyone who follows me who I don't recognize or can't tell the connection from a quick profile glance — or who doesn't reply to me dm'ing to ask how we're connected.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the lie that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant crossing illegally than we are about bullies with unprecedented wealth and power.

This is really hard to think about, but it may well be on the horizon.

I look forward to listening to what Chip — one of my favorite scholars — has to say on this.

There's always more to the story, and Ryan Burge fills in some important details but too many of us gloss over with stereotypes.

Actually in the pinned post at the top of my feed, not my bio (but I might change that).

Bill Wildhack @waw3.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I found myself blocking accounts but I followed me but with no info in their bio and no posts — and who clearly didn't look at the statement in my bio that says I might do that. 🤔

This looks like an interesting way to visualize new connections here on Bluesky.🤔 skircle.me

This was a little harder than I expected, and I missed one question because I misread it — but the mistake was really obvious when the answer was revealed! 😞

In an earlier time, I remember pushing back on proposed changes to a DOD regulation regarding chaplains that could be read as prohibiting chaplains from religious organizations with long-standing mission partnerships with Christians in the West Bank and Gaza — and in other places, too. 🤔

This is the challenge. Are we up to it? Will I be up to it when it matters?

I discovered this thanks to something @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social posted this morning. After reading the thread, I've signed up for @juddlegum.bsky.social's newsletter to see what else he writes about.
